mod_perl vs perl5.8.5

[Nathan J. Mehl]

On a cvsuped 4.10-RELEASE server, the current version of mod_perl in
ports doesn't seem to want to build against the current version of
perl in ports:

[root at zorak mod_perl]$ portupgrade mod_perl

(...deletia; at this point we attempt to rebuild perl-5.8.5 entirely, for no 
discernable reason...)
